About
I’m Jon Statman, a commercial videographer and video editor based in San Diego. I founded Leading Edge Media to help brands tell compelling stories through interview-driven production, social-first content, and conversion-focused video that is built to perform on the platforms that matter most. With 10+ years in healthcare, technology, fitness, and consumer work, I’m hands-on from pre-production planning and on-set direction through editing, color, and motion graphics.
I also bring FAA Part 107 experience to every project when aerial visuals are needed, ensuring compliant drone cinematography with full LAANC authorization. I’ve built a results-oriented workflow from my earlier business operations background, and I’ve earned strong momentum through repeat clients and top-tier freelance performance (Top Rated Plus on Upwork). My focus is simple: create video that looks great, communicates clearly, and drives measurable outcomes for the brands I partner with.
